Quarry Bank Mill- The Garden

The garden at Quarry Bank was created by the Gregs in the 19th century and has recently been restored.

These are wonderful, as ever. I love your photo-travelogues. Roll 'em on.
Thank you.

I'm so pleased.

We're heading up to Durham this weekend.

What a beautiful place with the rock outcroppings and the hill. The formal gardens make a wonderful contrast. Is that near Manchester?

It's to the south of Manchester- quite near the airport.

Oh! How lovely! Rock outcrops are such naturals for a garden setting. Wonderful tulips, too.

A lot of love has gone into restoring the garden to its 19th century glory.
